Over the past few days the Colorado Buffaloes football program received verbal commitments from two high school seniors. California kid Trey Udoffia and texan Patrick Taylor Jr. Neither player has a listed position, but each are solid gets for Coach Mike Mcintyre and company.
Trey Udoffia
Udoffia is a 6′ 1″, 175 LBS, two star (rivals) from Del Orto high school in Loomis California. He played cornerback, wide receiver, and kick/punt returner last year in his junior season. The athletic Udoffia counted for almost 1,000 receiving yards last year, but will likley line up in CU’s secondary. Udoffia is ranked higher by other scouting services, coming in as a three star by Scout and 247.
